An American Adventure that re-explored the Lewis and Clark route across what was the new Louisiana Purchase Territory now defined by ten states.
Artist/Explorer Stuart Morse and family are in their sixth year of this project that included three years of re-exploring and documenting the entire route. They are now sharing their discoveries through many programs described below. All around the flagship of the project, The Lewis and Clark Commemorative Paintings. These ten monumental paintings capture the unique landscapes and environments along the route as it is today, 200 years after Lewis and Clarks historic journey. They are a celebration of the American Landscape.
The Bureau of Land Management, United
States Department of the Interior wrote:
Due to the Stuart H. Morse Lewis and Clark commemorative
landscape paintings monumental size and vibrant, diverse color they have the
ability to capture the imagination and sense of exploration and adventure
possible in the United States now and in the past. Other art work of this
type, quality and magnitude has not been found.
Stuart Morse, artist/explorer wrote:
"I hope that everyone will learn from this Bicentennial and be inspired to embrace the explorer spirit and make their own discoveries in the environments in which we live and travel."

First Lady Lori Hauser Holden wrote:
"I am excited for
you and the communities in Missouri where Art Expeditions will travel.
What a great way for families to spend time, learn more about Lewis & Clark
in Missouri and take part in this great art experience. I look forward
to participating myself."
"Thank you for providing this educational art experience not only to
Missourians, but the millions of people who will be celebrating the Lewis &
Clark bicentennial".
